Barn Finds Are Still Out There.... - Page 4

More of a "Barn Keep"
A guy I know 40k's out of town has these sitting around , he said "I'll start on 'em when I retire from farmin' " , God , I don't know when he'll start , he was 82 , 4 months ago ...

:

Only way anyone will get one is they'll have to like "Buck-shot" in the bum , because he won't sell even one of them .

There's another row to the left of the Austin , there's an FE holden , FB Van & old Rover + some others .

Heres a shot of it:

Yeah, that's the one !! It looke straight from what I could see. $15k - $20k is a bit steep though.

Glad that you found it. Did you try a suasage roll from across the road? Bloody unreal !!

Nah they were closed when we got there, so no sausage roll for me.

yeah i agree upto $20,000 is a bit steep, if it had a 302 or 351 in it might be a different story.

you think $20k is steep? check this out!

hey norm...

that XP ute looks to be in pretty good nik, it would fit nicely in my new shed when it gets built.

and the `58 customline would be nice to have too.

2 cars off my wish list .

Picked this one up yesterday with a mate...
More a paddock find than barn find and unless a very talented body man, which we're not, it's pretty much passed it's use by date.
Likely to be cut up for bits but silly offers might stop that happening

wicksy · 24-10-2007, 04:38 PM

Me and my old man rescued an XTGT from a paddock in either kyneton or bendigo about 12 years ago. I cant remember much as i was only 5 at the time but he only paid a couple of hundred dollarsfor it. We've started restoring it and im sure its going to be worht alot more than we paid for it in years to come

True, but first you need to spend a buckload getting to that point. Would be fun though.

Yeah definately but its would be a better investment than just restoring a xt fairmont of falcon

it's bs mate, look it up in snopes.com it's not a barn find at all. it's just a car dealer's collection that he had photographed/appraised and somehow turned into a 'barnfind myth'
